Текст Jack’s Mannequin – Last Straw
Текст:
I heard that you went out last night
And you looked beautiful just like a bat
Beneath the moonlight
I stayed home took a Vicodin…
When I think about the president
How did he become the president?
And I stayed awake for a day or two
I thought about the world
Drank gin and watched the news
And there are some things I’ll never understand
Why the country needs a God
And a woman needs a man
And you never write me letters
And you never sent my sweaters
So I could stay warm when I was without you
Without you I don’t sleep
Just dream…
And I scratch these words into a black notebook
I wrote your name on top I knew you’d never look
I tried my best to fight the atmosphere
To think the happy thoughts
That leave the phone lines clear
I see Arizona stars from here
But Peter Pan is miles away
And you never write me letters
And you never sent my sweaters
So I could stay warm when I was without you
Without you I don’t have…
A place that’s safe from all the monsters
This is the last straw…
This is the last straw she said
And I won’t wait for you forever
While you run around like JFK
You watched that poor girl
Waste the best years of her life
And I’ll be damned if I am going out
I will not go out that way!
And you never write me letters
And you never sent my sweaters
So you could stay warm when I was gone
Without you I don’t have…
A place that’s safe from all the monsters
That hide in my head and keep me ’til dawn
And I think this is the last straw.
